Good morning RaceSailors !, I trust you all arrived home safely last night,
Well we had it all !, I don't think I could relate all the high's, not aware of any low's,
spoke to John last night he's home and nursing his 'sports injuries' but comfortable as they say,
no more foray's for him for a little while.
A BIG THANK YOU to all, great team, you made my job look easy !.
A special thank you to the Skippers who really make it happen, without them No boats !.
Please post any special notes / memoirs that can be published without any liable proceedings.
Seriously we need contributions for the website, please download onto the members page

Full results will be posted later, just to say my boat ( Martin Inglis ) came first within the HOEOCA listing
with Martin Hemming and Mike Veal joint second, Mike also came third in his other race !
Couple of points of interest, with the trying conditions I would like to draw your attention to the attached item this has already been posted on the website -- Life Saver OR Fashion Items - please note the HOEOCA discount should you be looking at a purchase --- Sunsail life jackets rated at 175N.
25-27 March 2011 'Putting it into practice' Sunsail Regatta 2
View flyerOur first opportunity to put all that we've learnt into practice!
Sunsail has replaced its fleet at Port Solent with brand new Beneteau F40's; size matters, and at 41 feet the new yachts are more powerful and great fun to sail. Sunsail has equipped the yachts with brand new sails, spinnakers, heating, chart plotter and autopilots and I'm confident we're getting excellent value!
The weekends are 'shared cost' which means we aim to break even at the end of weekend. The 'shared cost' price includes food on board but excludes a boat kitty used to top up expenses for Saturday evening meal, beverages and marina fees.
In order to spread the workload this year, a number of racesailors have volunteered to help organise Racesail weekends. Mike Veal will be hosting this Regatta so please direct all enquiries to him. He will, as ever, do his best to accommodate everyone; contact Mike now to make a provisional booking, payment due by 1 March 2011 to confirm booking.
Further Racesail weekends are scheduled for later in year. More details will follow in due course.
